    Honestly I think all the opponents of replay are finally being vindicated as well.

    Slows down games so f*ckin much and implemented really poorly. Especially in NBA I've seen multiple times now where play is stopped at a key moment down the stretch that basically gives a team with no timeouts a free one to gameplan or strategize.

    There was even a situation last year where the Heat wanted to run a play immediately after going down a point or two before the defense could set and the refs went to replay for some dumbass reason.

    For christ's sake up until it was picked up by the media the refs were basically going and looking at standard def video on 19" monitors to make their decisions.

    I have said this before that NBA players don't even sweat anymore.
    I remember the good ole days of Patrick Ewing dripping puddles at the free throw lines, Jordan was a drenched mother fukker. These guys needed to change Jerseys between quarters sometimes.
    There players today are in better shape now then back then and don't get tested physically ever.
    Tv timeouts, bullshit reviews, technical difficulties, all BS.
    Crack the whip and make them play like the old days. Enough with this babying shit.

    I understand the practical standpoint of money behind it, but it just kills me to watch it. Took 7 minutes to play 1 and a half minutes here in the Heat/Bucks game, pitiful.

    This is America, this isn't Soccer, I don't want XBOX on University of Washington jerseys.

    You think this is an amateur sport?
